Thanks Mike! I gave WiX 3.0.5329.0 a try but ended up with literally thousands of warnings/errors. I am planning on rewriting our entire setup (by migrating it to MSBuild) so going through and fixing all these errors is a nonstarter. I need to provide a solution for this current release. The rewrite is scheduled for our next release.
With this in mind, do you know if there are any convertors available for migrating WiX v2.0 .wxs files to be WiX v3.0 compatible? There are some easy problems (e.g. namespace needs to be updated) but I am getting builds errors saying that I am currently doing a private build with 2.0.5508.0 (instead of 2.0.3719.0) to see if this resolves the blocking issues. If not, I'm going to see if upgrading to WiX v3.0 would even solve the issue before worrying about the migration.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WIX 2.0 on IIS 7.5 with IIS 6.0 Compatiblity Mode I don't know what would cause this issue in 2.0, but have you considered upgrading to WiX 3.0 or even WiX 3.5? A *huge* number of improvements have gone into WiX's IIS support in the WiX 3.0 RTM release. Going even further, WiX 3.5 actually has native support for IIS7, so it doesn't require the IIS6 compatibility layer (but 3.5 is still under development, so expect some bugs if you try 3.5).

The problem is that anytime we deploy a virtual directory it "destroys" the parent site. To clarify, the virtual directory gets installed correctly but the parent site no longer has a physical path or application pool associated with it. We have two separate MSIs: one to install the parent site and one to install the virtual directory. Has anyone ever run into this? Or have any ideas on what I can do to debug this further? The same MSIs work perfectly on IIS 6.0 running on Windows Server 2003. Any help would be massively appreciated.
